Key Features
- 600 V minimum breakdown voltage silicon bridge rectifier providing high-voltage AC-to-DC rectification in a compact 4-pin MBM package
- Maximum forward voltage of only 1 V across all 4 diode elements, minimizing conduction losses in power supply designs
- Non-repetitive peak forward current rating of 35 A, accommodating inrush current transients in motor drives and power converters
- Compact mini MBM 4-pin DIP footprint enabling dense power section layouts on standard 2.54 mm through-hole PCBs
- RoHS-compliant (JESD-609 e3) silicon construction meeting global environmental regulations for consumer and industrial power applications
Applications
The MB6M-E3/45 is used in single-phase AC-to-DC power supplies, motor drive front-end rectifiers, and battery chargers that operate from 120 V or 230 V mains where a 600 V rated full-wave bridge in a compact 4-pin DIP is needed. Its 35 A peak current handling accommodates start-up inrush in capacitor-input filter circuits typical of switching power supply designs. The mini MBM package also suits replacement rectifiers in industrial controls, uninterruptible power supplies, and low-cost consumer power adapters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the breakdown voltage and forward voltage of the MB6M-E3/45, and how do these specs determine which AC mains voltage it can rectify?
The MB6M-E3/45 has a minimum breakdown voltage of 600 V and a maximum forward voltage of 1 V per diode element. The 600 V rating provides adequate margin for 230 V AC mains, where peak voltage reaches approximately 325 V, leaving over 275 V of safety margin. The 1 V forward drop across each conducting diode results in a total rectifier loss of 2 V per half-cycle, which must be accounted for in power supply efficiency budgets.
How does the 35 A non-repetitive peak forward current rating protect the MB6M-E3/45 during power supply startup?
During power supply startup, an uncharged bulk capacitor presents a near-short-circuit load, driving inrush currents that can exceed 30 A for several milliseconds. The MB6M-E3/45's 35 A non-repetitive peak forward current rating allows it to survive these brief surges without junction damage, provided the energy pulse is within its I²t rating. Designers should still use an NTC thermistor or inrush limiter in series to keep the 35 A peak within safe limits for production units.
How does the mini MBM 4-pin DIP package of the MB6M-E3/45 simplify PCB layout compared to using discrete diodes for bridge rectification?
The 4-pin mini MBM package integrates all 4 rectifier diodes in a single 4-pin DIP footprint on a standard 2.54 mm through-hole grid, replacing 4 discrete DO-41 or SMA diodes that would require 8 pads and additional routing traces. This reduces PCB area for the bridge section by approximately 60%, eliminates 3 separate component placements, and simplifies BOM management by consolidating the full bridge into one Vishay MB6M-E3/45 component with a single datasheet specification.
